The Singapore chapter of Docomomo (Documentation and Conservation of Buildings, Sites and Neighbourhoods of Modern Movement) was formally established in early 2021. It is a non-profit group that consists of members from diverse backgrounds. It was set up to:
1) research and educate ourselves about the modern built heritage of Singapore.
2) advocate for and work with partners to find creative, sustainable, and inclusive ways to conserve and retrofit the modern built heritage of Singapore.
The origins of the Docomomo Singapore can be traced to the formation of a working group in early 2018 after the Pearl Banks Apartments was sold in a collective sale and threatened with demolition. With the recognition that the Pearl Banks Apartments might be the first of many modernist icons built in the 1970s and 1980s that would be sold in collective sales and demolished through a very narrow understanding of redevelopment, the working group was formed to fulfil the urgent need to advocate for environmentally more sustainable and socio-culturally more appropriate alternatives of redevelopment and value creation.
Since 2018, Docomomo Singapore has organised a major international conference in November 2019, published op-eds and articles on different aspects of Singapore’s built heritage in newspapers and magazines, researched and created an inventory of modern buildings of Singapore. We are also building up this website to share our knowledge on the modern built heritage of Singapore.
If you share our values and would like to contribute to our mission, join us as members.
